a very good rendition including written lyrics on Carol Lenner 1935 production recording on youtube at be patient as other songs must be heard first.

These lyrics are closer to what I learned at Dore School about 1947-1950 from Music Teacher Miss Cruikshank. I was a boy soprano at the time (out of breath now for even a broken baritone) and sang this with the school choir. I remember the emphasis my teacher put on holding "waiting" for nine bars.
